Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Not every band would kick off their third album with a slow, six-minute trudge characterised by descending guitar lines, mournful melodica, and a frontman that sounds not so much suicidal as already decaying. Interpol, however, have never been shy of basking in melancholy, and Our Love to Admire is an album that just exults in it. Newly bolstered by funereal keyboards, Our Love to Admire feels full and rich where previous Interpol albums sometimes felt gaunt and bony. The old themes remain, however: emptiness, dislocation, and a rather caddish attitude to romance, as encapsulated on "No I in Threesome" or the pounding, sarcastic "The Heinrich Maneuver", a sour kiss-off to an ex-lover that sees frontman Paul Banks asking "How are things on the West Coast?/ I hear you’re moving real fine" atop taut, stabbing bass. Further in, the band experiments with some more sprawling, elaborate song structures. The excellent "Mammoth" locks into a driving groove that’! s most uncharacteristic for Interpol, Daniel Kessler trying out riff after riff like he’s dressing for some important social occasion, while the climactic "The Lighthouse" is a bare wisp of ambient guitar that might be the band’s stateliest, grandest moment to date. -- Louis Pattison


CD Description

'Our Love To Admire' is the third album from New York indierockers Interpol. Returning with a broader sound to compliment Paul Banks's often surreal, obtuse lyrics, this album isby far their most focused effort yet, and should help Interpol establish themselves as a major force in indie music. Includes the single 'The Heinrich Maneuver'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The quintessential 'grower'. Listen again, then some more. You'll love it., 17 Jul 2007
By Mr. G. Mclorn "Gareth" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love Interpol. They have a really unique sound, Paul Banks' vocals are evocative, the guitar riffs are heavenly and both combine effortlessly with the soaring basslines. After becoming gripped by the excellent first 2 albums I have waited so long, too long, for this album to come out and thankfully it doesn't disappoint. I think that it's much darker and emotional than the last album 'Antics' and I can't stop listening to it.

Appreciating an Interpol album is akin to taking time to read through a long, complex novel. You might have to go back over it a few times to get your head around some of the more obscure lyrics but eventually you'll get there and when you do it'll be so worthwhile.

The stand out tracks here are as follows:

I really like the opener, 'Pioneer to the Falls', it's got a good gentle rhythm to it and leads perfectly into the rest of the album quite nicely.

The first single, 'Heinrich Maneuver', is about getting closure from a relationship and moving on when your 'heart swings', realising that the girl you fell for isn't so perfect after all and generally being annoyed that you obsessed for so long over someone so vain - 'I don't want to read your thoughts anymore'. It gets better and better every time you hear it.

'Mammoth' has a real intensity and passion about it with the crashing guitar crescendos and shouting vocals giving a real edge to the song. It reminds me a lot of 'Not Even Jail' on the 'Antics' album. The sense of loathing for the person in question in the lyrics is palpable, the 'just spare me the suspense' chorus has a 'I'm just past caring about what you do anymore' feel about it.

'All Fired Up' is great track too. Here Paul Banks seems to appear as quite a possessive boyfriend or something along those lines.

The best track on the album is undoubtedly 'Rest My Chemistry'. All subtlety goes out the window here - this song is blatantly about trying to come off drugs and all the difficult interlinking life-choices that come as a consequence of that decision. The candid, heartfelt lyrics and catchy bass-line have all the makings of a true classic. This could well become Interpol's signature tune - it's the best song I've heard this year by some distance.

For me this album just serves to further cement Interpol's place as the best band around at the moment. No-one else comes close.

5.0 out of 5 stars another stunning effort, 27 Jun 2007
By Stephen Brogan "thelastjunkie" (N.Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Our Love to Admire (Includes Special Edition Booklet) (Audio CD)
i acquired this album through a friend of a friend who had a promo copy. This was 24 hrs ago now and i can say already: WOW! It's another great album from Interpol.
The opener 'Pioneer To The Falls' continues the tradition of strong album starts. It's arguably the best best of the three so far. The single 'The Heinrich Manoever' took a few listens to grow on me but now I love it. 'Mammoth' follows and is sure to become a firm favourite for any fan. Then completing a flourishing triumvirate, and a flawless first half is 'Pace Is The Trick' which is simply wonderful.
It's true to say the the second half of the album doesn't quite continue in the same way. However, the songs at their very worst ('All Fired Up') are still 100 times better than the cheap imitators like Editors, and the final track 'Lighthouse' is the closest Interpol have come to their own proclamation that they are more influenced by film than music. It is epic in scale and demonstrates to me why Interpol are such an important band.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light amid the shade...., 26 Jul 2007
GREAT! Interpol have done it...delicate shades of light amid the darkness, a progression,an essential part of any indie music and this third album is full of subtle changes and chinks of daylight.

After the intense and slightly montonous "Antics".."Our Love" is a gentler synthesis of chiming guitars,glacial synths and softer vocals from paul banks. the lyrics are better than on "Antics" and the baritone gloom is lifted in some tracks as well.

I really didnt expect much from this but Interpol have touched greatness here with some glimpses of melody,hints of harmony and even a Morricone-influenced closing track..the future is a little less black.....!
